Do you need some DIY Christmas gift basket ideas this year? We found the best Christmas gift baskets for kids, teens, spouses, couples, neighbors, friends, & anyone else on your Christmas list.

When in doubt about what to get someone for Christmas a gift basket won’t let you down! Not only is it fun to receive but it shows that you went the extra mile to pick out just the right things and put it all together.

If you feel overwhelmed about what to put in a Christmas gift basket, the easiest way to start is to pick a theme! Do you know a kid that loves legos? Or how about a co-worker that can’t live without coffee? Look for their interests and run with it!

Here are some Christmas gift basket theme ideas to get you started.

  • For kids. Legos, playdough, barbies, unicorns, candy, puzzles, and art supplies.
  • For teens. Body care, favorite color, journaling, games, movies & candy, sports, video games.
  • For women. Gardening, spa day, wine night, cooking, coffee lover, reader.
  • For men. Fishing, golf, sports, beef jerky, beer, mixers, slippers, coffee lover, shaving sets.
  • For couples. Wine & cheese, jam tasting, date boxes, spa nights, champagne sets.
  • For friends. Coffee, wine, gourmet foods, joke boxes.
  • For neighbors. Cookie kits, hot cocoa kits, ice cream sets, and breakfast kits.

What kind of basket should you use?

The gift basket in most cases can be the gift itself. You can honestly use anything. Just be aware of the size you are looking at. Big baskets mean more items you’ll need to fill them with! Check out some of these great basket ideas to try.

  • Wooden crate.
  • Colander.
  • Galvanized bucket.
  • Pail.
  • Wicker bin.
  • Fabric bin.
  • Glass jar with a lid.
  • Oven mitts.
  • Large toys.
  • Bushel Basket.

What should you put in your gift basket?

The best way to decide what to put in the basket is to find balance. Lopsided baskets aren’t visually appealing and the whole goal here is to get a “wow” out of the gift basket receiver. Get yourself organized with these general guidelines for how to create a killer basket!

  1. Pick the right-sized basket.
  2. Add filler to lift items. Crinkled paper, poly fluff, straw, etc. Can all help elevate items effectively?
  3. Choose an anchor gift. One larger gift to take center stage in the back to add height.
  4. Chose 4-5 smaller gifts that stagger left & right in front of the anchor gift.
  5. Fill dead spots with candy, candy canes, small gifts, flowers, greenery, etc.
  6. Make it decorative with bows, ribbon, tags, or cellophane to bring it all together.
